Facing Giants
I turned 40. Life happened and I faced more challenges than I can recount. I really thought it would be smooth sailing after 40, HA!!! What's that saying about making plans? Yeah that. If you follow me outside real life and know a little about me then you know I am a runner. I laced up 4 years ago and haven't looked back. I couldn't run 2 blocks when I started then before you know it I was running 5Ks, 10Ks, 15Ks, 10 milers and half marathons and enjoyed it. Something else happened after entering this new decade. I felt a shift in my mind. I remember the first time I ran and thought there is no way I can run 3 miles but I stuck with it and did! I ran my first 5K and ran many more. I looked at my run buds and thought they were crazy for wanting to run anything more. Then came the shift, I thought yeah I can run 6 miles. And I did. The more I ran the more my body became acclimated and the more upping the miles didn't feel like Goliath. I got up to 13.1 m
